I just rearranged the house so I’d have a dedicated office and sewing room. I’ve only had time to do one small project, but I’m really looking forward to finishing tweaking my setup and doing a lot more sewing in the new year.

I sew in my living room. I dedicated corner for sewing with a table for my machine I do not care if people see the sewing mess. It just shows that I love to sew. And I can help friends and neighbors with clothing repair needs.

This summer my sweet husband and his brother remodeled my laundry/sewing room with wall and floor cabinets and painted the room a soft yellow. After sewing with a homemade cabinet for 20+ yrs., I can finally have all my sewing needs in the same area and organized!

My husband and I just moved to a bigger apartment, but space is still limited. We plan to use the spare room as an office/crafting room for us.. At the moment, that room is still full of boxes so I sew in the living room :))

I have a spot in my semi-finished basement for all of my sewing things…but lately, I’ve been taking over the kitchen table! Would love to have a real studio setup that is bright and welcoming to let my creativity flow! (and keep the kiddies entertained as well)

When I was 10 and joined 4-H, my mother was given a treadle sewing machine for me to learn on. It went in my bedroom. When I left home for college, I was given a sewing machine that moved into the dorm room with me. When I first moved overseas, I bought a treadle machine and it was moved into the bedroom. I have since always had a sewing machine, and it had a designated space, but never a whole sewing room. I’m now retired, children grown and moved out – their room is the ‘sewing room’ but half the room is a guest room. Also I usually carry a sewing/quilting/embroidery project with me when travelling – I have/make sewing space!

I sew in my upstairs “extra” room. We finally got all my sewing stuff moved into the room and I’ve set up a raised cutting table, a machine table, my dress form, and TONS of fabric everywhere! I’m working on the organization of all my notions and patterns as I sew to try to bring order to the controlled chaos!

My spare room becomes my sewing room when I push the bed up to the wall. I recently purchased a second hand dress form, so am looking forward to more sewing for myself after much children sewing for Christmas!
